Hello, It's Adele's New Haircut

Adele unveiled a new haircut while performing on the British version of the *X Factor *last night and we feel involved. How could you not feel connected to this singer after years of listening to her music?

Adele's vibe tends to be slightly retro—her signatures are her precise cat eye, long vintage-movie-star nails, and a bouncy midlength mane. So the choppy finish to her new style is a game changer for the 27 year-old. It's got a more of-the-moment feel to it that'll help her start 2016 with a little edge. Of course, Adele is stunning no matter what she does (even when wearing no makeup), so there's probably not a circumstance in which a haircut of hers wouldn't get a thumbs-up from us or her fans. But we feel that the new length is particularly great at highlighting her cheekbones.

Clearly we need her to write a song about how change can be freeing. We now expect her to help us through all our emotional ups and downs, and if anyone can walk us all through the phases of haircut acceptance, it's Adele. Now that she has first-hand experience, it's her duty, really. We all need something to sing in the shower after a trip to the salon.
